Seat Post Size and Seat Height Adjustment
The seat height adjustment is a matter of personal preference. Most commonly the seat is adjusted similar as it would be on a bicycle. With the rider seated the leg is fully extended with the pedal in the down position if the heel is placed on the pedal. The leg is then slightly bent when the foot is properly placed on the pedal, with the ball of the foot over the axle.
The following is a general guideline for selecting the right seat pole size:
| rider's height | seat pole size |
|---|
| under 5' | 200 mm |
| 5' to 6' | 300 mm |
| over 6' | 400 mm |
Wheel Size
The most common wheel size on standard unicycles are 20" & 24".- 20 " wheels are used mainly by people who travel a lot with their cycle or perform in small stage areas and still want to have a lot of pedal action.
- 24" wheels are the choice of people who ride outside and want to cover any kind of distance and still want to be able to do tricks.
- 26" and larger wheel sizes are mainly used for distance riding & road races
- 18" and smaller wheel sizes are mostly used for special effects (i.e. clowns) and small children.
